ABOUT THIS ARTIST

"In my work I seek to recover the folklore and joy of the Andean people."

"I was born on April 17, 1952. For 24 years I have dedicated myself to metalwork in the city where I got married to an able smith, from whom I learned the art of working with silver and plaques. Today we have a small family business, in which my children are also involved, and we work together with dedication, constantly developing new products.

"What inspires me on a daily basis is the endless desire to improve personally and economically. In my work I seek to recover the folklore and joy of the Andean people. My products have been exhibited in craft fairs in Spain, Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico, receiving a warm welcome and a grateful impression among the people who have appreciated my work."

I really LOVE the fascinating Inti, Sun God mask by Ana Maria Encisco! I have placed it above a sunny window where it seems to send out rays to the entire room! I definitely plan to start a collection of these boldly designed and colorful and bronze and copper masks. I have a perfect warmly colored , bright room for them where they will be absolutely striking! Many thanks and best wishes! Lori

I absolutely adore the Ai Apaec Sun God mask I ordered. It is of superb quality and the depth of expression is wonderful. YOUR artwork has inspired me to research these fascinating masks. Thank you so very much. I shall be ordering more!

The masks are great. I love them even more than what the picture showed.

I collect masks. It was by accident that I found this site. Ana Maria Enciso's masks were unusual as I didn't have anything like it in my collection. The three masks I ordered were beautifully packaged and the craftmanship was superior. I will continue to purchase from Novica for all of my masks from now on.

Thank you, Ana Maria. I received Portada del Sol: Inti. It's beautifully done, I am very thankful to you. I am also thrilled to see in a book I just received, a photo of the real Portada del Sol -- I said to myself, ""I have that!"" Yours is remarkably like the original carving. Keep working! You're doing a wonderful job. Thanks, Diane

I’m writing to thank Ana Maria Enciso for making such lovely copper artwork. The sun god mask is wonderful. I gave it to a friend for Christmas, and she absolutely loved it. Novica and artists like Enciso have made Christmas shopping so much more fun, and my gifts this year have been so much more unusual. Thank you.

The brass masks are beautiful!! I've have never seen such unique work of art. The masks are now displayed in our family room together with Senor Quinto's gourd mirror.

Thank you for my wonderful warrior mask. There's a little corner of Minnesota that now holds a bit of our neighbors to the South. Each time I look at the plaque, I also see your beautiful face.

Ana Maria's copper masks are wonderful -- fine workmanship, authentic designs. They are a great addition to my collection of feline art.

I received the mask ""God of Fertility"" today and it was wonderful. The detail and craftsmanship is beautiful!

I RECEIVED THE METAL VASE THAT I HAD ORDERED AND I USUALLY DON'T OFFER FEED BACK ABOUT AN ITEM I ORDERED BUT THIS VASE IS REALLY OF EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY AND BEAUTY. THE PICTURE REALLY DIDN'T DO JUSTICE TO THE TRUE ELEGANCE OF THE VASE. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS LADY'S ART WORKS WITHOUT RESERVATION.

Ana, I LOVE your work! I love the materials you use as well as the designs. I have been looking for something special for my living room wall of the home I just purchased and am so glad I found yours! Thank you for your attention to detail, to the history, and to keeping your work affordable. I will look for more in the future as you make more art! (I am an artist as well, but am not selling at this time.) I will submit a photo later. Thanks again and best wishes to you!

Today I received in the mail a beautiful set of ornaments by Ana Maria Enciso, called Christmas symbols. They are stunning and are works of art. The copper will be perfect for Christmas time and will be perfect for my Novica Christmas tree.

I received my copper mask - ""Tears of a God"" a few days ago and I am thrilled! I cannot wait to hang it up in our office. The craftsmanship is gorgeous and the piece features such intricate detail. Thank you so much, Ana. I will be submitting a photo when it is installed.

Good day ms Encisco. I received your wall plaque today entitled Smiling God. It is amazingly beautiful! I am so excited to show it off in my home! Thank you so much for sharing your talents and your gift with me! It is exquisite to say the least! Thanks again. Sincerely, Mr. Lawrie Kowalski, Edmonton, Canada

I just looked at her products and am delighted to find she has created many additional art pieces! I look forward to purchasing more in the future! Ana Maria, I love the colors and metals you use, the craftmanship, and the rich heritage your work represents, in addition to your affordable prices! Thank you for your gift! All the best! Sharon
